Listening to music has drastically changed in the last couple of decades. Today we stream music from an online service or listen from a massive library of downloaded music on a mobile device. If you want to listen to people discuss topics you are interested in, you download a podcast. With all this convenient and powerful technology, there is still another media that is widely used today and that is AM/FM radio. Every radio station broadcasts their content over a unique frequency and in order to listen to it, you must "tune in" to that frequency. Car radios today have scan and seek buttons that only stop on frequencies that are coming in clearly so it's easy to find what you are looking for. I remember when car radios had two big knobs ("dials"). One controlled the volume and the other was for tuning into the frequency we wanted. Many times we had to gently and carefully turn the dial until the signal became clear enough to hear the music and not just a bunch of static. It was quite the victorious moment whenever we found that "sweet spot".
It's true that finding clear signals is much easier with today's radios, but one thing remains the same no matter how new or old your radio is - the station is always broadcasting a signal and you must tune in to the correct frequency in order to hear the broadcast. Whether you tune in or not, the radio station is sending out a powerful signal. It's always there, always available, but you only hear it if you're tuned in. This is also true of God. He is always speaking, always transmitting His power, but it's on us to "tune in" to His frequency and receive the transmission. Jesus said in John 10:27 that His "...sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" In John 8:47 He said "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God." I don't want to be guilty of not being of God and not receiving what He's broadcasting. It would be a shame to stand in need of something and never receive the power of God that is being transmitted to meet the need because I'm not tuning in to His frequency. God is broadcasting a powerful transmission that will bless you immensely if you tune in. You must be praying consistently and sincerely. You must be reading and studying the Scriptures daily. You need to attend church regularly and submit to a pastor. You must be kingdom minded. If you're consumed with earthly things and carnal pleasures, you are not tuned in to God and are missing out on the greatest source of power you will ever know. It will answer your questions, give you peace of mind, heal your body, and change your whole perspective. It's everything you need and want and it's available to all who will pursue it. Let's get on God's frequency. He's broadcasting, but are you tuned in? Patrick Thomson
